Description
Kesariya Chai is a vibrant and aromatic tea that is inspired by the golden hues of saffron (Kesariya in Hindi) and enriched with its delicate, floral flavor. Here’s more about it:
Origin & Ingredients: Kesariya Chai typically features a base of strong black tea, often from Assam or Darjeeling, and is infused with saffron (the most expensive and luxurious spice), along with spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and sometimes a hint of rose or other floral notes. The saffron imparts a golden color and a distinct aroma, making the tea not just flavorful, but visually appealing as well.
Flavor Profile: The key flavor in Kesariya Chai comes from the delicate, floral, and slightly sweet taste of saffron, complemented by the warmth of spices like cardamom and cinnamon. The tea has a rich, golden hue with a smooth, creamy texture (especially if milk is added). The addition of saffron provides a unique and luxurious twist to the chai, making it fragrant, sweet, and soothing with a touch of warmth from the spices.
Health Benefits: Saffron, the star ingredient in Kesariya Chai, is known for its antioxidant properties and its ability to improve mood and reduce stress. It’s also believed to aid in digestion and support skin health. The spices used in the chai also contribute to digestive health, with cardamom helping with bloating and cinnamon being anti-inflammatory. The black tea base provides a moderate caffeine boost, perfect for starting the day or enjoying as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
